Preparation of EnvironmentManagementPlanwilalsobedone. Data Generation Land Use The existing land use patern in the study area of10 km radiusaround the projectwilbe established through the literature review ofpublished Census recordsandlatestavailablesateliteimagery.basedonthisreview,thelanduse paterniscategorizedintothefolowingfivecategories: 1. Forest; 2. IrrigatedandagriculturalLand; 3. Un-irrigatedagriculturalland; 4. Culturablewasteland;and 5. Landnotavailableforcultivation,whichincludesbuilt-upareas. Demography and Socio-EconomicAspects Theexistingstatusofdemographyandsocio-economicfactorswilbeestablished forthezonecovered in 10 km radialdistancearound theprojectsitebased on theliteraturereview andsecondarysourcessuchasthedistrictcensusstatistics. The demographic and socio-economic characteristics such as distribution and densityofpopulation,age-sex structure,sex ratio,socialstructure,literacyrates andoccupationalstructureofpeopleetc.wilbeestablished.

Identification of Sources of Pollution Thisincludesthefolowing: Identifyingthesourcesofpolutionofair,water,land,noiseandsolidwastes; Quantifyingtheemissionsfrom thepolutiongeneratingsources;and Quantificationofsolidwastesandlikelydisposalmethods.

Based on various project activities, the likely impact on the environment atributesinprojectareawilbeidentifiedby: Estimating the airpolution levelsforpm,so 2 and NO x in the study area duringconstructionandoperationalactivities; Estimatingthesourceemissionsforeachprojectspecificpolutants; Monitoringthesourcenoiselevelsforalthenoisegeneratingsources; Predictingtheimpactofwastewaterdischarges; Determining theimpactofconstruction activities(movementofconstruction material);and Studying the short-term and long-term efects on sensitive targets like endangeredspecies,cropsandhistoricaly/archaeologicalyimportantsites(if any). Environmental Impact Assessment The proposed expansion projectmay have some impactson the environment. The parameterslikely to be afected are airquality,waterquality,soilquality, noise levels,etc.on accountofgaseous emissions,liquid efluentdischarges, resultantparticulates,generationofsolidwastes,etc. Thebaselinedatageneratedfrom theabovementionedstudieswilbeanalyzed andcomparedwithapplicablestandardsprescribedbythecpcb.bythismeans, theimpact,whetherpositiveornegativewilbeassessedandtheenvironmental atributesrequiring specialatention formitigating the negative impact,ifany, wilbeidentified.alsotheareas,whichfulfiltheprescribedenvironmentalnorms and notrequiring furtherimprovements,wilbe specified.both short-term and longterm impactsparticularlyonsensitivetargetssuchashabitatofendangered species of wildlife, crops, historicaly/culturaly important sites/monuments, centerswithconcentratedpopulationinthestudyareawilbeestablished.
